148 sparsely populated settlements in south Russia stayed without electricity supply because of breakdown in electricity network.
This was reported by Interregional distribution network company of Center and North Caucasus. "The situation is rather complicated in Kalmykia, Volgograd and Astrakhan oblasts, where disaster was raging on Saturday and all last night. This initiated new emergency situations", - noted representative of the company.
Along with that, power engineering specialists eliminated almost all consequences of breakdowns in electricity supply network and transforming substations in Dagestan, Rostov oblast, Krasnodar and Stavropol krais. A powerful cyclone hit the region the day before. Repair works lasted for whole night and will continue until complete elimination of malfunctions.
400 emergency brigades of regional energy companies work on network. Reconstruction of electricity supply of schools, hospitals and other socially important objects is of high priority.
